Heres a stunning Victor V disc phonograph with a rare Hawthorne & Sheble Artistic flower horn. Phonograph and horn are both ca. 1910, and both are in exceptionally nice original condition.The V was Victor’s top-of-the-line oak phonograph and its largest oak phonograph. It was also the ultimate workhorse, with a massive 3-spring motor capable of playing multiple sides with a single winding. Hawthorne & Shebles Artistic horns featured polished metal surfaces with decorative floral interiors. Condition of this Victor V is excellent, and its completely original. No replica parts, no repairs, no refinishing, no glamming up for the camera. The back-bracket enamel is original, with no flaking, and the decorations are crisp.Original crank, original brake, original horn elbow, original turntable felt, etc. Theres a tight hairline in the grain on the crank side of the cabinet which likely resulted as the cabinets panels aged and cured. Its barely visible, even if youre looking for it, and it has no bearing on the structural integrity of the cabinet, which is excellent. Take a few minutes to review the pictures. They tell the story better than I can. Im one of ebays best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique phonographs. Ive been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique phonograph from me, youll receive a phonograph that arrives safely because its been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldnt know a phonograph from a farm tool), and youll receive a phonograph that includes thorough but easy-to-understand set-up and operating instructions, so you wont be left scratching your head, trying to figure out how it works. Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your bargain arrives broken, and without any hint of how it works or how you might be able to put it back together, youll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
